The Yank Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I don't think you'll have too much luck with this one. Not sure what Laurie was thinking releasing a record by the Opals when there was another female group on Okeh already using the same name. The single reached hitbound or pick hit status on a few stations and then fell off the charts. I have a feeling Laurie pulled the record off the market. There is a cover version by Scarlet on French Polydor- Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I always heard they were a New York/Northern New Jersey Metro group. They were definitely not The Chicago group who recorded for Beltone and Okeh. There was also a male Opals group during the early 1950s, who recorded for Apollo Records, and a couple other New York labels. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
